Poor GCSE's - but went on to become a practicing lawyer. What are the chances?

Long story short...

- I'm 33 years old.
-I sat my GCSE's around 2004/2005.

My grades:
Science (double award) - x2 C's
English Language - C
English Lit - E
Art - C
Music - C
Maths - F

When I was 20 I began studying law.
My results:

10 Level 3 (A-Level equivalent) certificates in 10 areas of law
5 Level 6 (Degree equivalent) certificates in 5 areas of law.

I have practiced as a litigation lawyer for 8 years.

The trend here being that I performed much better in academic life once I left school.

What would you reckon my chances are of ever being accepted for ATPL training?

Thanks
